How long will PS2 software development go on?

[Cheebs]

With all of this PS3 crap going down, I'm going to be sticking with my PS2 for a long, long time. I imagine others will, too.

I also see developers sticking with the PS2 for low-budget releases or anything that's not a sequel/big name/sure thing.

Throw in the fact that the PS3 will play PS2 games anyway, and I'd like to think that PS2 development has a lot of life left.

So what do you guys think? Several more years of new PS2 games, or dropped like a hot potato once the PS3 hits?

PSX had releases until 2002 or 2003. But it didn't have any good ones.

God of War 2 will be the last noteworthy PS2 game.

Maybe we'll start to see some older japan-only games get localized. It happened on the PSX to some extent after PS2 hit.

Bring on the bargain bin software!

I would think Sony will lean heavily on developers to support the PS3, so that only third-grade releases will be PS2-only.

Hello, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 5!

I really think it'll go on for awhile. We need ESPGaluda II for damn sure- PS2 can handle it fine. Upgrading to PS3 should not be necessary for all the current shooters.

It'll continue on as long as its profitable. I'm looking forward to seeing what insane Japanese releases come out when the PS2 becomes a shovelware platform.
